Why Did My Pot Lilies Not Come To Flower This Year

Question

Have emptied pit now, very small white tubers very few green shoots no sign of infestation, vine weevil etc, do I keep tubers and try again next Year?

Answer 1

Many lilies need a winter dormancy. If they did not receive one, then this could be the problem. Soil fertility issue could be the case, as well. Make sure that you feed the container grown plants a few times per year, or at least once per year.
